AN OCEAN RACE.

In the spring OF 6S or 6y. l forget which
now, was mate of the schooner Wilmington,
2.9 tons register, in the Bermuda trade. At
that time our vessel was comparatively new.
having only been in commission about year,
and was considerably ahead Of anything else
in that trade in the way o. speed. We had a
first rate captain and q good crew, whose
personnel was superior to the ma ajority OF
coaster crews: also We were better manned
for our size than most of those vessels are
and our owners were literal in everything

NOTE BY GEORGE CURTIS, ESQ.

The Ms. OF this history addressed TO me IN
the handwriting Of nv dear brother, Henry
Curtis, whom We had given up for dead, and
bearing the Alden postmark reached me in
safety on December 20. Is, or . little more
than two years after it left his hands in the
far center Of Africa. and hasten to give the
astonishing story it contains to the world.
Speaking for myself, have read it with very
mixed feeling; for though it is great relief
TO know that he and Good are alive and
strangely prosperous, / cannot but feel that
for me and for all their friends they might
a. well he d, ad, since We can never hope to
see them more.
They have cut themselves of from old
England and from their homes and their re-
lations forever, and perhaps, under the cir
cumstances, they were right and wise to
do SO.
How the MS came to be posted have been
quite unable to discover; but presume, from
the fact Of its being posted at all, that the
little Frenchn.an, Alphonse, accomplished hN
hazardous journey in safety. l have, how
ever. advertised for him and caused various
inquiries to be made In Marseilles and else
where with q view OF discovering bis where
abouts, but 50 far without the slightest sue
Cess. Possibly he is dead and the packet was
posted by another hand, or possibly lie is now
happily welded to his Annette but still tears
the vengeance Of the law and prefers to re-
main incognito. l cannot say. have not
yet abandoned my hopes Of finding him, but
ain bound to say that they grow fainter day
by day, and one great obstacle TO my search
is that nowhere in the whole history does Mr.
Quatermain mention his surname He is al
WAYS spoken-of as "Alphoase," and there are
80 many Alphouses! The letters which my
brother Henry says he is sending with the
packet of manuscript have never arrived. 50
l presume that they are lost or destroyed.
